When to use teams in a business
For years I've wondered why our government hasn't acted to stop the flood of illegal aliens pouring into our country. I've heard complaints and questions. The excuse usually given by politicians is, "They do jobs our citizens won't do."

However, the people with whom I have discussed the topic usually respond, "Not true. We used to do those jobs."

If farms need the help, a farm registry program should be set up, but stop illegals who are taking other jobs - including construction jobs - that our own citizens want. Unskilled jobs taken by illegals are needed by our citizens as unemployment increases.

These illegal aliens are costing taxpayers billions, mainly for their education, health care and prisons. It has been estimated that illegal aliens cost the state of California $9 billion a year.

A report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, based in Washington, D.C., estimated $7.7 billion yearly to educate the children while special English classes and school lunch programs add even more.

At a cost of $63 a day, taxpayers spend more than $3 million dollars a day to house alien prisoners, most of whom are thought to be illegals, in federal prisons.

Census officials estimate 10 million to 12 million aliens are in the U.S., but illegals tend to avoid the census so a larger estimate of 18 million was made in 2005 by the chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus.

The Los Angeles Police Department bans immigration enforcement and mirrors other large cities in this practice. One captain was quoted as saying, "We can't even talk about it. People are afraid of backlash from Hispanics. I would get a firestorm of criticism if I talked about it (enforcing immigration laws)."

In Los Angeles, 95% of homicides are reportedly attributed to illegal aliens. Two-thirds of all fugitive warrants are for illegals. Authorities attribute 60 percent of all drug traffic to illegals.

People in all the border states are alarmed.

The U.S. is in serious economic trouble. Illegal aliens are costing multiple billions every year for services. Further, much of what illegals earn is sent to their families in Mexico and doesn't come back, adding to the drain of money out of the U.S.

There are many who will shriek "Racism!"

We are in a struggle for the economic survival of the U.S. We face terrible debts and unemployment. Laws exist against this invasion by illegals and those who hire them. These laws need to be enforced.

A few of the main reasons why illegal immigration is allowed to happen.

The BIG reason: There is no political will to stop it.

Why is there no political will?

A) Both parties are pandering for the Hispanic vote (over 70% of illegals are Hispanic)

B) Big business makes a fortune off of cheap labor, big business buys congressmen their seats, congressmen don't bite the hands that feed them.

C) The Rothchilds, who own half the world's wealth, find it easier if the world is populated by unskilled, uneducated third world types.

Proof that political will can get things done:
1) The US military defeated Nazism on the Western front.
2) Built the DMZ between the Koreas.
3) Created the Space Shuttle and other NASA projects
